The lawsuit against Danville’s casino is over according to the city’s corporation counsel James Simon.  He said the judge ruled in the city’s favor.

The Mervis company had been seeking action against the casino saying it was located in an inappropriate space and the city violated zoning ordinances to bring it to its location at 204 Eastgate Drive. The legal battle has gone on for months and many of the Danville aldermen had to give depositions about their knowledge of the casino issue and the reasons for their votes.  Simon told aldermen their depositions had a positive effect on the case.

The Golden Nugget casino and a steakhouse have been open since May and officials report a strong business.
